When things go wrong

When things go wrong, we often turn to music for solace, connection and, sometimes, to unlock our feelings. With that in mind, your playlist this quarter was compiled by Zara Heber Percy, a Jungian Analytical Psychotherapist, who works with people to bring the unconscious aspects of a person’s psyche into consciousness, often to help cope with struggles and difficulties.

Zara has put together an hour of music that explores some of the painful feelings that can arise when life takes a wrong turn.
